Safety instructions for rechargeable batteries

■ DANGER TO LIFE! Keep

rechargeable batteries out of reach of children. If accidentally swallowed seek immediate medical attention.

■ Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.

DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Never recharge non- rechargeable batteries.

Do not short-circuit rechargeable batteries and/or open them.

Overheating, fire or bursting can be the result.

■ Never throw rechargeable batteries into fire or water.

Never burn or incinerate any

battery/ Never pierce, attempt to disassemble or short-circuit/ Always observe polarity (+/-) and charging times.

■ Do not exert mechanical loads to rechargeable batteries.

Risk of leakage of rechargeable batteries

■ Avoid extreme environmental conditions and temperatures, which could affect rechargeable batteries, e.g. radiators/direct sunlight.

If rechargeable batteries have leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes with the chemicals!

■ Flush immediately the affected areas with fresh water and seek medical attention!

WEAR PROTECTIVE

GLOVES! Leaked or damaged rechargeable batteries can cause burns on contact with the skin. Wear suitable protective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.

In the event of a leakage of rechargeable batteries, immediately remove them from the product to prevent damage.

■ Only use the same type of rechargeable batteries. Do not mix used and new rechargeable batteries.

■ Remove rechargeable batteries if the product will not be used for a longer period.

Risk of damage of the product

■ Only use the specified type of rechargeable batteries!

■ Insert rechargeable batteries according to polarity marks (+) and (-) on the rechargeable battery and the product.

■ Use a dry lint-free cloth or cotton swab to clean the contacts on the rechargeable battery and in the rechargeable battery compartment before inserting!

■ Remove defective rechargeable batteries from the product immediately.

Initial use

Note: Remove all packaging materials from the product.

☐ Check the contents to make sure everything is there and for visible damage.

☐ Remove the product and the operating instructions from the packaging.

● Handling and operation

■ WARNING! Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries. Charge only Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

● Charging rechargeable batteries

1. Insert 2 or 4 pieces of same size and same capacity rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (AA/AAA) into the loading slots 1 pairwise; make correct contact for polarity (+ and -); according to the sign in the loading slots 1.

Note 1: For charging 2 pieces or 4 pieces of same size and same capacity rechargeable batteries (AA/AAA), insert the batteries to the left side or right side of charging slots as Fig.1 and Fig.2.

Note 2: Do not mix up different sizes and different capacities rechargeable batteries (AA/AAA) to pairs charging slots; do not insert single piece of rechargeable battery (AA/AAA) to pairs charging slots as Fig 3.

1. Plug the product into a correct household electric outlet.

2. When batteries charging are started, the blue LED indicator 2 will light up.

Note: The left side blue LED indicator lights up, left side charging pair slots batteries are under charging; the right side blue LED indicator lights up, right side charging pair slots batteries are under charging.

1. When the rechargeable batteries are fully charged and completed, the blue LED indicator 2 will get off.

Note: The left side blue LED indicator gets off, left side charging pair slots batteries are fully charged and completed; the right side blue LED indicator gets off, right side charging pair slots batteries are fully charged and completed.

1. Unplug and re-plug the product each time when you recharge the empty batteries.

● Bad cell/Short circuit protection

The corresponding blue LED indicators 2 will be flashing to indicate the rechargeable battery is either alkaline battery or the rechargeable battery is not suitable for charging. Please remove the rechargeable battery from the loading slots 1.

Calculating the average charging time

Depending on the type, age and remaining charge in the batteries, the charging process can take various lengths of time. The average charge time can be calculated using the following formula. Take note however that the times given are only guiding values.

Charging Time (min) = Battery capacity (mAh) × 1.2 × 60: Charging current of the product (mA)

Automatic charging control/ Retention charging

This product controls the charging time for Ni-MH rechargeable batteries separately. This control is based on the - V ("Minus Delta V") calculation. In mathematics, with Delta differences are indicated. In this case, "Minus Delta V" means a negative

voltage difference. This charge identification makes itself useful in the following effects: Should a rechargeable battery be charged with a constant current, its voltage rises continuously. When a rechargeable battery is full, its voltage reaches a maximum but falls again slightly with further current flow. This light fall in voltage is recognised by the charging electronics and the charge process is terminated. The product automatically switches to "Retention charging". This means that the batteries are no longer being loaded with constant current, instead, with short current pulses. This counteracts the selfdischarge and the batteries are kept in a state of full charge.

Timer control

In addition, this product has a timer control which automatically switches over to retention charging after 7 hours. This serves as an additional protection against overcharging should the charge termination not respond due to a possibly defective rechargeable battery.

● Cleaning and care

■ DANGER! Always remove the plug before cleaning the product. There is the risk of an electric shock!

• When you are cleaning the product ensure that no moisture gets inside it, so as to avoid irreparable damage to it.
  IMPORTANT! Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents, as these can damage the upper surfaces.

- Cleaning the housing

□ Clean the surfaces of the product with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn soiling use a lightly moistened cloth.

■ Never clean the insides of the loading Slot 1 with moist cloths. Instead, use a clean soft brush to clean them.

☐ If soiled, clean the charging contacts with a dry cloth.

● Troubleshooting
